Arguably, Jon Postel's distribution of RFC announcements was the earlist<br>
'mailing list', but it was a one-way, multicasting mechanism.<br>
<br>
I believe the usual credit for first 'discussion' mailing list is to<br>
Msggroup, mostly operated by Stefferud, for discussing the use of email.<br>
Like Jon's effort, it initially required an almost manual process with<br>
sndmsg and interactive, real-time response to receive-side server issues.<br>
<br>
I think Header-People was next, for discussing email technical issues.<br>
<br>
SF-Lovers was probably the first non-technical (if not, non-geek...)<br>
list. But I am not remembering the details of its operation (who, when,<br>
where, etc.)<br>
